Exciting As a Cupholder

Friends,

Okay, I shouldn't be spending this much time with that new SiteMeter function, but after learning that I am THE worldwide leader in hot men mustache, I have to admit I am completely smitten with the SiteMeter program, specifically their feature on showing how people wound up here. It just completely blows my mind that this happens, not just because the sheer oddity of it, but how completely disappointed some people must be when they arrive here awaiting, say, a piece about floating bait, and instead get a story about my dad shitting in a lake, and I can't help but laugh at that.

To feed this obsession, I'm including a new feature on the blog, and you may have noticed it to the right.

Each time a person arrives on this blog through a google search, I'm going to post the search item that led them here, and my Google ranking. You'll see on the right that I am seventh when someone does a search for "motherfucker" (which is interesting because that search was either done by a fifth-grader during computer time, or someone in search of photos of people fucking mothers...so it's funny how those kind of communities can conflate on the internet) and tenth when someone searches for "bait fishing float vs sinker." (Also the bait fishing came from Australia).

Yes, the rankings will be wrong some time as I don't intend on double checking the accuracy of the ranking daily or however often Google updates things like that. But each time something interesting routes someone here...it's getting posted.

VIVA EL SITEMETER
